Leadership Award for Redevelopment |
| Fort Worth Rail Market
As the Awards Jury noted, the Fort Worth Rail Market is an "exceptional reuse of a building, tying market, downtown, transit and entertainment in one venue with easy access." The Rail Market will likely serve as a driver for additional investment in the area and lead to redevelopment of other historic buildings and underutilized properties into residential, entertainment, retail and office uses. |
The
Fort Worth Rail Market, located adjacent to the Intermodal Transportation
Center in Downtown Fort Worth, is an excellent example of the
adaptive reuse of a historic building to add vitality to a somewhat
neglected area. Through a public private partnership between
Downtown Fort Worth, Inc., the Fort Worth Transportation Authority
(The T), and the City of Fort Worth, the long-vacant Santa Fe
Northern Warehouse was redeveloped into a public market offering
a variety of products to Trinity Railway Express commuters and
others.
